English and Maths information – Year R

All of the children have settled so well over the past 2 weeks! We are so proud of how well they have learnt the class rules and routines and how they have settled into life in Year R. It has been wonderful to see them all making new friends and playing so nicely together during Discovery Time. We have really enjoyed getting to know your children better.

Now we have had a settling in period, we are ready to begin our Phonics teaching next week and Maths teaching the following week!

Before we begin, we have recorded two information videos which explain our approach to teaching English and Maths in Year R. We hope that you find them useful and you feel better informed about how you can support your child at home.
